Security beefed up in Tripura ahead of I-Day celebrations
Security arrangements have been beefed across Tripura, particularly along the 856 km long border with Bangladesh, to prevent any untoward incident during the Independence-day celebrations, a senior police officer said on Sunday.
Security arrangements have also been put in place on Assam Rifles Ground, where Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha will hoist the national flag to mark Independence Day in the presence of ministers, legislators and top officials.
Strength of security forces was augmented in vital installations like Raj Bhavan, Civil Secretariat, Assembly House and vehicles entering into the state capital from other places were being checked so that no untoward element could sneak.
Security has been tightened up across the borders with intensive patrolling by security forces and sealing of borders with the neighbouring country of Bangladesh.
Police have begun checking vehicles on highways and other important roads while vehicular mobile foot patrolling has also been done by local police stations. Some temporary check posts have also been built to monitor the vehicles and all police stations and BSF have been alerted to keep stringent surveillance.
